Take That will reveal all in a new ITV1 programme documenting their reunion - as the band announce plans of a stadium tour next year. The fly-on-the-wall documentary charts the last 12 months following Robbie Williams' reconciliation with Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen. It features the writing and recording of the new album Progress. The programme - Take That: Look Back, Don't Stare - will be broadcast on ITV1 in November. It comes after the boys were honoured with the Hall Of Fame gong at the Q Awards, where Robbie hinted the band might be back for good. On stage to accept the award at the central London ceremony, Robbie said: "Very happy to be back. First day and we've won an award." He added: "I'd like to thank my boys. Extremely happy here. Looking forward to the next few years." On Tuesday morning, Take That announced their Progress Live 2011 stadium tour around the UK next year, to include four nights at Wembley Stadium. Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday.
